The above photo is of my grandson Noah Jr. a couple of years ago during the holidays.  It brings me joy just to look at it.  I am not able to be with Noah and the grandkids (Noah Jr. and Cortney) this Christmas but with this photo I am reminded of the real joy of the season – the celebration of life and love, of family and friends, and of holidays past, present and future. 

My wish for all of you is that you are able to celebrate the real joy of the season even if you are not able to physically be with those you love today.  Have a safe and joyous Christmas.

Day one hundred and seventy-three of the new forty – obla di obla da
